Yarn Along...

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading and I love sharing my projects and current reads here. I would love for you to join me every Wednesday to share a single photo of what you are knitting (or crocheting) and reading too!~

I have to apologize...My yarn alongs are certainly lacking variety lately, but I am in full baby, birth and diapering mode!This week found me knitting yet another diaper cover. An Ottobre Design soaker with slight modifications. I won't say it's my favorite pattern thus far. I was not a fan of the actual construction...thinking knitting flat would be easier, I actually prefer knitting in the round for soakers of this style. It's also not without mistakes. The seaming was no easy task. Don't look too closely, but my stitches don't line up. This might bug me astetically in the larger scheme of things, but fortunately it won't affect the functionality of it.I do love the Malabrigos Rios yarn I used for this project. It was a joy to work with! And it's perfect for sensitive baby skin.As for reading I'm going back to Redeeming Childbirth by Angie Tolpin. I started this book three years ago when I was pregnant with my third child, but I never finished it. This time, I'm pressing on as it is such an encouraging read about Christ-centered childbirth.

I'm joining Ginny at Small Things for her weekly Yarn Along and I hope you'll check it out. So much delightful inspiration!
